The grim reality of yet another Podcastle looms on the horizon like a big looming thing. On this week's thrilling episode, we will doubtless be talking about the ScrewAttack Gaming Convention that I did an attending of. We will also probably talk about dead celebrities a bit, just because that would be quite a horrible thing to do, and we're currently trying to lose as many listeners as possible.
It's sure to be a show packed full of mirth, frolics and dreary, unbearable listening. In order to make a rubbish show even worse, feel free to ask your stupid, nonsensical questions that we'll probably be too tired to bother reading out anyway.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

Wardrox: Are all the stereotypes about Jim true?
Lauren: Are all the stereotypes about Tomb Raider true?
Also what do you think of us, french ?
Question: Whats your greatest, proudest moment in gaming? Scripted or not.
Silly Question: If Andy Murray and Connor got into a fight, which one would go Super Saiyan first?
We know he really is a passionate man on the subject, and is fighting something worth fighting for, so maybe he should at least be given a position that could be of some use to the industry. On the other hand though, making Jack into an industry spokseman could be likened to a troll stealing hits from others on a forum. Since he's been such a douchebag on many occasions in the past, should he deserve to be listened to anymore?
Calling out from your colonized Australia at 3am. Here are a few questions I demand answering for my commitment to your legacy.
1) Describe the woman you want to birth, raise and not stab your children
2) Speaking of dead celebs, can you give your honest opinion about MJ and what the fuck he was. Was he Black or White, was he Sane or Insane, did you listen to his music at all between the ages of 12 and now?
3) I am travelling to the U.S next year to stalk the destructoid staff with my podcast members (seriously) ... do you give a shit? and if so, will you have a cold beverage with us? (Not a Fosters)
P.S - Also talk about Kurt Cobain and how he was a fucking idiot for crying all the time for having fortune, fame and a daughter that he abandoned by putting shotgun to mouth and toe to trigger.
Since you're in Mississippi, I assume you've had real biscuits. If so, have you repented for calling cookies biscuits?
also what is your favourite place to buy games that isn't game or gamestation?
also didn't the last episode of retroforcego! sound really, really gay to you?
Question: If videogames weren't a part of your lives, what do think you lot would have done as hobbies and professions?
2.) Jim, if you were alive during the American Revolution, and living in Mississippi, which side would you be on?
3.) Dynasty Warriors: 1776. You play as a shirtless George Washington and kill hundreds of reds. Yay or Nay?
4.) Who is the British equivalent to Jack Thompson?
5.) Jim, would you like fries with that?
I just bought 1600 MS points, and I don't know why. Are there any XBLA games that I ABSOLUTELY MUST PLAY aside from Castle Crashers and Braid? Are there any coming out that I should save up for? I've been thinking about getting Rez HD or Geometry Wars - I certainly play the demos enough - but I want to know what else is out there.
Wardrox and Jim have made up!?
So for my question.
Britian was the third place country that made the most videogames.
However given this fact there arent any expo's in Britain.
Well cept Game On.
but thats new.
do you feel that there isnt much of a gaming culture/infrastructure. and what improvements would need to be made.
this kinda plays into what you were saying last week about how games developers are spread over the country.
also has jim recovered from the discovery of the hold on his psp?
The OMGRADIODEEJAY guy got fired, and then was replaced by the much less enthusiastic other guy. People complained.
Now that the less enthusiastic guy has tried to put a little more pizazz into the advertisements, do you expect further complaints?
PS: I realize this would give reviewers a lot of power and with power would come corruption, but hypothetically do you think I system like this would work?
PPS: Yes I am very much aware that the pricing structure of Atari games in the 80s was usually based on quality and it was a large contributing factor to the game industry collapsing on itself. But I wonder if your listeners will catch onto that? ;-)
Also, what is your take on the longevity of xbla multiplayer games? Personally I love a lot of the games they release, but like one of you said last show, most people only play a game for a month or so before moving on to the next one. I'm sure Worms 2 is a great game, but I've only played maybe 3 matches of the first one and really don't want to have to buy the new one. Same thing with Rocket Riot, which I'm sure I'd enjoy but really don't have time to play right now so there's almost no point in getting it. :(
Also, whats your favorite RPG not made by a Japanese studio?
Lastly, does any one in the UK celebrate whats known in America as the War of 1812? Great Britain fucked up us quite well, even burning our capitol and it ended with us begging for peace.
Also, what's the difference between "Talking Bollocks" and "Bollockspeak?"
It hasn't downloaded a podcastle since episdoe 33. Cause I haven't looked at the site in a while I'd assumed you guys had stopped doing them. Fucking Apple.
Oh, and this:
"Cress, cress, lovely lovely cress!"
At only 29 pence a punnet, cress is the healthy snack you can't afford not to buy!

Why do "they" say that video game AI is very stupid when it is in fact far to clever, when ever I play a game full of baddies, they always recognize me from a million miles away, no one ever fails to recognize who I am, and that I'm defiantly the one they want, and hunt me down like a pack of dogs.
Athiistium :
How good would a video game in the form of a musical an actual factual musical like "Gay" the musical from I.T Crowd fame.
Jim
I'm making a game I need a voice are you interested its called "GRAY" and its a lovely puzzeler, I can send you some art.
The PSP: do I buy a normal one now and get my portable Dynasty Warriors goodness ASAP, or do I wait a few months for the PSP Go and get the new fancy bollocks but spend more and have to deal with god knows what download/transfer service for older games they'll come up with (which knowing the UK will only have four games supported before they drop it entirely)?
<333
Also can you validate buying a DSI for $300 when I can buy a DS Lite for $150? Because I sure can't.
